The author of The Bottom Billion, which won the 2008 Lionel Gelber Prize for the world's best book on international affairs, he has lectured widely on the subjects of economics and international relations.Very important ideas based on extremely thorough empirical research...put him in the same camp as real heavyweights such as the Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz
- Misha Glenny, Guardian

- Allister Heath, Literary Review
The author challenges a lot of lazy thinking about the trajectory that poor countries should take to improve their lot ... Mr Collier is thinking about these urgent and very difficult issues, something that not many people are willing to tackle head-on

- Richard Beeston, The Times
Collier adopts an upbeat, indeed breezy style
- Stephen Howe, Independent
Realpolitik at its best
Prospect
His recent Book <i>Wars, Guns and Votes</i>, is all the more remarkable in that it is based on impeccable scholarship and statistical analysis but remains highly readable and accessible
